I have a custom Visual studio wizard for C++ project which works fine in visual studio 2015.
when I am migrating it to visual studio 2017 it is not working. It shows a dialog below

""Creating project 'xxx’ project creation failed.""

…. there is work around scenario if visual studio 2015 is installed along with 2017 in the system then it works without any issue but unfortunately, we need rule out visual studio 2015 in my system and move it to 2017...could you please help me with resolving this issue. What are the prerequisites and packages, or patches needed to be installed to make it work in 2017?
